How does alcohol affect you?

Post Reply New Topic

I get very happy, chatty (ie. more crap falls out of my mouth than usual), horny, and want to immerse myself in music and sing everything Without alcohol I feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable in a group larger than say four people, so I use it any time I leave the house.

makes me very quite and very sad

I *LOVE* Alcohol. It is God's gift to mankind.

I don't drink much - I like a cold beer - but is the cold I really like not the beer so it might as well be a cold coke.

Next drink & I'll probably be homeless. So much fun when I was in my 20's, then, what happened? It's not easy to see it while it's happening.

Alcohol is bad for you. No wonder why they use it for stupid reasons.

It makes me calm relaxed and not care about the minor issues that bother me to the point of meltdowns the booze neutralizes it. I am also very friendly drunk and flirtatious and outspoken too also less nervous in crowded rooms with alcohol.

1-2 beers : Gives me a few hours with more focus. Used to have 1 (only 1) in the middle of the day back in school to make it easier to focus in class.
Moderate amount : Reduced social stress. Cheerful, even more talkative and easier to walk in a straight line (focus)
Night out amount : Just more of the same except loosing the straight line walking
Too much : Nothing violent. Just very creative.

Relaxes me a lot...less inhibition and anxiety...then, I get super sleepy.

It makes me care-free and more emotional. I gain a lot of confidence. It depends how drunk I get really and who I am with also what medication I'm taking at the time is a big factor.

I find alcohol lets me feel more comfortable and confidant around groups of people. I'm more open and I'm not constantly worried about what people think of me. I can talk about emotional stuff that I'd find nearly impossible to talk about face to face when sober. I talk a LOT more when drunk and I find it somewhat easier to socialize with people I don't know well.

I can socialize more when drunk, but I still have a limit to how much I can stand. I'm usually the first one to retreat to my room or just go to the couch to pass out. I've had enough being around people and I just want to be alone or unconscious.

It turns me into a monster. Haven't had a drink in 20 years.

In short, it makes me an a**hole NT, talking too much, hitting the table too much with a mug. Drinking a small amount of alcohol (one or two beers) has more positive effect on me than negative, though. At least I think so.

HS teacher met me drunk (slightly) on a school trip, told everyone that on me it seemed to be an improvement (she wasn't used to me actually talking).

In small doses, it does free a bit. In higher doses I talk way too much and get whiny. The risk for the talking too much is too high (guess how I found out) so I never drink a lot. Quite a lot of people think I never drink alcohol (never plain beer (as in pilsener), try to stay away from anything from a certain extremely big 'belgian' brewery, never a lot and rarely in public).

Also seen way too many drunks, don't like loud people (aka more drunks) and hate drunken humour. Don't want to become that (but chances are high).
